INSTALLDIR=<path>
This command installs a product in a specific location. If you specify
an install directory with this switch, it must be created manually
prior to executing the CLI install commands or they fail without
displaying an error message.

installs a product to a specific location where
c:\OpenManage is
the install location.
CP_MESSAGE_FORMAT=<enhanced | traditional>
This command sets the alert message type to Enhanced Message
Format (recommended) or Traditional Message Format.
For example, running msiexec.exe /i SysMgmtx64.msi /qn installs Server Administrator features on each remote system based
on the system's hardware configuration. This installation is done silently and unattended.
Customization Parameters
REINSTALL and REMOVE customization CLI parameters provide a way to customize the exact software features to install, reinstall,
or uninstall when running a silent or unattended installation. With the customization parameters, you selectively install, reinstall, or uninstall
software features for different systems using the same unattended installation package. For example, you can choose to install Server
Administrator, but not Remote Access Controller service on a specific group of servers, and choose to install Server Administrator, but not
Storage Management Service, on another group of servers. You can also choose to uninstall one or multiple features on a specific group of
servers.
NOTE:
Type the REINSTALL, and REMOVE CLI parameters in upper case, as they are case‑sensitive.
You can include the REINSTALL customization parameter on the command line and assign the feature ID (IDs) of the software feature
that you want to reinstall. For example, msiexec.exe /i SysMgmtx64.msi REINSTALL=BRCM /qn
This command runs the installation for Systems Management and reinstalls only the Broadcom agent, in an unattended but not silent
mode.
You can include the REMOVE customization parameter on the command line and assign the feature ID (IDs) of the software feature that
you want to uninstall. For example, msiexec.exe /i SysMgmtx64.msi REMOVE=BRCM /qn
This command runs the installation for Systems Management and uninstalls only the Broadcom agent, in an unattended but not silent
mode.
You can also choose to install, reinstall, and uninstall features with one execution of the msiexec.exe program. For example,
msiexec.exe /i SysMgmtx64.msi REMOVE=BRCM /qn
This command runs the installation for managed system software, and uninstalls the Broadcom agent. This execution is in an unattended
but not silent mode.
